The Aromahead Blog - Aromatherapy Education and Resources

When Gina Flores was in graduate school in 1994, a colleague's aromatherapy use sparked her interest in the field. "I was intrigued," Gina says. "I decided to get some books and see exactly what this 'aromatherapy thing' was."

After doing her research, Gina couldn't get enough.

A self-proclaimed "nerd" when it comes to aromatherapy, Gina is an Aromahead graduate, and is now owner of Essential Body Wisdom in New York City.

She does aromatherapy consultations and on-the-spot blending for injuries. She also just developed her own line of essential oil blends, which she has high hopes for. Read on to learn more about Gina's business, what inspires her, and what she wants you to know about essential oils.
